Chapter 192 Slapped in the face? Practice singing all night!
"Ding! Win the Rookie Challenge and be rewarded with 3 honor points!"
"Ding! Break the Rookie Challenge scoring and three-point shooting records, and be rewarded with 4 honor points!"
"Ding! Winning the Rookie Challenge mvp will reward you with 4 honor points!"
When Chen Yan lifted the MVP trophy, a series of system prompts sounded.
Chen Yan was a little surprised. Rookie Challenge MVP is worth 4 honor points?
Is it really just an entertainment competition?
Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't put in much effort. He basically paddled the whole way in the first half and only started to exert force in the second half.
When delivering his acceptance speech, Chen Yan did not forget to thank his teammates.
"This was a team win. Our players were very selfless and everyone was happy to share the ball. We acted like a mature team. This MVP trophy belongs to me and to all the players on the first-year team.
A member of the coaching staff!”
The domestic fans in front of the TV all laughed after hearing this. Chen Yan's speech was indeed very high-level.
High emotional intelligence: Everyone is happy to share the ball.
Low EQ: Just give the ball to Chen Yan and that’s it!
Then Chen Yan didn't forget to hug Durant. He didn't know when the two of them would be teammates next time.
During the post-match interview, Chen Yan was still the target of reporters' pursuit and interception.
Reporter: "Chen, the first-grade team ushered in a long-lost victory, breaking the curse of five consecutive years of invincibility. What is your biggest feeling at this moment?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's finally time to get off work."
"Hahahahaha!"
Chen Yan's true answer made the reporters around him laugh.
This is why reporters always like to surround Chen Yan. In addition to his popularity, Chen Yan's sense of humor can also bring happiness to everyone around him.
Reporter: "Evaluate Yi's performance!"
UAE played 11 minutes today and scored 6 points on 3-of-8 shooting. The only highlight of the game was a two-handed dunk three minutes before the end.
Chen Yan thought for a while and replied: "Yi is a practical player. Participating in this kind of exhibition game requires a change in mentality. I believe his performance will be better next time!"
The next reporter stepped forward and asked: "Chen, you scored 11 three-pointers and scored 55 points in this game. While receiving the MVP, you also broke the rookie record. This is what you said before the game.
?”
Seeing the reporters around him gloating about his misfortune, Chen Yan understood that he had been slapped in the face.
But it felt good to be slapped in the face like this, and he hoped to do it more often in the future.
"A basketball game is like a box of chocolates, you never know what's going to happen in this one."
Chen Yan confused this question by quoting a classic line from "Forrest Gump".
Reporter: "What are you going to do when you get back to the hotel?"
"Of course I'm practicing singing!" Chen Yan replied without thinking.
This time Chen Yan came to participate in the All-Star Weekend. In addition to playing basketball, he also had a very important task, which was to perform on stage and sing.
There are less than two days left before his first public performance. Chen Yan needs to prepare well. He doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of so many people.
The reporter asked the next question: "You made 11 three-pointers tonight. Do you think tomorrow's three-point contest is safe?"
Chen Yan shook his head: "Three-pointers in the game and three-pointers in the three-point contest are two different things. Moreover, there are many experts in this year's three-point contest, including Kapono, Peja and Nowitzki. These three have all won three-pointers before."
The championship will be divided into two categories, so I think the competition this year will be fierce.”
Chen Yan is not being modest, he really doesn't have much confidence in the three-point contest.
The reason is very simple. The game mode of the three-point contest is more beneficial to pure shooters at fixed points, and most of Chen Yan's three-point shots are catching and shooting while moving or pulling up with the ball.
In his previous life, Curry participated in seven three-point contests and only won two. Players with mobile turrets will definitely suffer some losses compared to fixed turrets.
Moreover, Chen Yan's current three-point attribute point has not yet reached its peak, and he still has a lot of room for improvement.
This year Chen Yan participated in the three-point contest with a very relaxed mentality, just having fun.
If we insist on talking about a goal, there is only one.
Just don't break Jordan's record.
In the 1989-1990 season, Gang Leader Qiao was invited to participate in the three-point contest, but after a hard fight, he only scored an embarrassing 5 points!
The lowest score in the history of the Three-Point Contest created by Gang Leader Qiao is unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no more in the future...
The next day, Chen Yan entered the three-point contest with an entertaining attitude.
After some manipulation, Chen Yan, Nowitzki and Kapono worked together to advance to the finals.
In the final, Chen Yan performed mediocrely, missing 3 of 5 ball shots and only scored 18 points.
‘German Tank’ Nowitzki was even more defeated, scoring only one ball and scoring 14 points.
Defending champion Kapono was the last to appear, scoring 25 points with an almost perfect performance, and successfully defended his title!
After winning the championship, Chen Yan and Nuo Tianwang gave him high fives to celebrate. Kapono was so excited that he almost cried. It was obvious that this three-point championship was very important to him.
In the skills challenge, Delong beat Paul, who was playing at home, with an excellent time of 25.5 seconds, and won the skills challenge championship.
Netizens also ridiculed that Deron did not forget to eat and sleep to beat Paul during the skills challenge.
In the final 'finale' dunk contest, Howard shocked everyone with his 'Superman' dunk and won the championship!
Everyone was very excited, but Chen Yan was very calm. It was not that Howard was not good enough, but that he had already watched this episode.
The dunk contest has passed the era of physical competition. Now players are competing for creativity. Gerald Green's action of blowing out candles and dunking in this year's dunk contest is also very creative. Unfortunately, the United States is more like Howard.
Half the battle was won when Howard appeared in the Superman suit.
After the second day of the All-Star Game, Chen Yan took Swift back to the hotel.
With less than one day left before the all-star performance, he decided to practice singing all night tonight to get a feel for it.
